The completion of a massive redevelopment project at Merchants Quay in Newry has been welcomed by local political representatives who believe it will breathe new life into the city.
Newry and Armagh MLA Justin McNulty and Newry City Councillor Doire Finn commended developers Kelly Brothers and Clanmil Housing Association for delivering the project which sees 38 modern apartments and three ground-floor retail units open in the heart of the city.
Mr. McNulty said: "This development represents a significant milestone for Newry. It not only provides much-needed housing but also breathes new life into our city centre. The thoughtful design respects our local heritage while offering modern, sustainable living spaces. I commend Kelly Brothers and Clanmil Housing for their commitment to enhancing our community.
“The apartments, a mix of one and two-bedroom homes, are designed to high standards of energy efficiency and accessibility. The inclusion of retail units will boost local commerce and increase footfall in the area, aligning with broader efforts to rejuvenate Newry's urban centre.
Newry Councillor Doire Finn added: "This project exemplifies the positive impact of strategic investment in our city. It addresses housing needs, supports local businesses, and contributes to the overall vibrancy of Newry. I look forward to seeing the continued benefits this development will bring to our community."
